As they return to Deepdean for a new school term, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are faced with some big changes.

For one, there’s a new Head Girl, Elizabeth Hurst, and a team of Prefects- and these bullying Big Girls are certainly not good eggs.

Then, after the fireworks display on Bonfire Night, Elizabeth is found – murdered.

Many girls at Deepdean had reason to hate Elizabeth, but who might have committed such foul play?

Could the murder be linked to the secrets and scandals, scribbled on scraps of paper, that are suddenly appearing around the school?

And with their own friendship falling to pieces, how will Daisy and Hazel solve this mystery?

Publisher Review

In her Murder Most Unladylike series, Robin Stevens has cleverly created a crossbreed of the detective and boarding school genres. The closeted, parent-free environment of Deepdean School for Girls provides a fertile breeding ground for intrigue and speculation. In this fourth title, the head girl Elizabeth - a tyrant in a gym slip - is murdered on Bonfire Night * Telegraph * Enough twists and turns to satisfy young readers . . . An exciting story * Sun * It's Agatha Christie for nine-year-olds with psychological insight from our Chinese heroine. Golly! * Spectator * Another cracking mystery * Sunday Express * Jolly gripping stuff * The Times *
